No-Cost Healthcare for Aliquippa Forge Workers
The EEOICPA program is a federal initiative that aims to support workers who were exposed to hazardous materials at the Aliquippa Forge in Aliquippa, PA (formerly Vulcan Crucible Steel Co.). If you are a former employee of this facility, you may be eligible for health benefits, compensation, and lump-sum payments to help you cope with the effects of your exposure.

In order to be eligible for EEOICPA/RECA benefits, an individual must have been employed at a covered Department of Energy facility, an approved atomic weapons facility, or at a permitted beryllium vendor. An individual must also have one of the covered conditions as a result of exposure to radiation, beryllium, or silica while employed at an accepted facility. In addition, uranium miners, millers, and ore transporters are eligible for benefits if they develop an illness as a result of exposure to toxic substances (such as radiation, chemicals, solvents, acids, and metals) and worked at a facility covered under RECA. Eligibility requirements vary by location and condition.
